Thank you for respecting the sentiments of communion. But you should come to the Mass at a Catholic Church if you can't find an ACNA parish.

I think you would have to restrain sharing in communion except for the visits to an ACNA parish -- unfortunately. I wish there were more, but we can share together in prayer.

Before I was received into the Church, I learned about the “Communion of Desire” from our priest, and it became very important to me...so now, when I’m unable to be at mass, I read the liturgy, pray, and sit quietly in the communion of desire, and am aware of the union with Christ that He makes possible during those wordless moments...the Eucharist is still paramount, just helps me through the times I can’t be there to receive the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity.

I won’t say that respecting the sentiments regarding Communion is without its frustration. A large part of me is inclined to simply take the Eucharist and not make a big deal about debating or explaining or any such thing. But then there is the stronger part of me that feels like it is more important to show the utmost respect to those whose faith is as important to them as mine is to me.

Maybe this Ordinariate trend will alleviate a large part of the problem. I don’t know much about it and what it entails, but I certainly look forward to seeing how it plays out.
